When we walked the things we saw (Original, Signed and Framed)

Painting Size: 80cm x 56cm

Watercolour on rough textured cotton paper

I believe that landscapes and the pathways through them - stay with us.  It is perhaps when we are farthest away that a yearning for a place, and maybe even for a particular time, might become more acute. Distance is the multiple of speed and time, how fast and for how long has this journey been for all of us, the passage underfoot a tangle of travel and memory.

I have been on so many walks, as a child and adult - sometimes alone, often with friends, family, dogs, girlfriends.  I wonder how many miles I've covered and if only I could remember the intricacies of each place, mountainous, scorching hot, bleak and rainy, happy or sad, the colour of the sky and the conversations I may have had.  

There is a particular field of daisies I often fall back on.  As a flower I love its unified, white petalled, yellow centred simpleness, over lawns or those wild, long stemmed, larger flowers like the ones I've tried to capture here.
